| <div class="question-body mb-4 mt-2 px3">During your last vacation you had some time to read up on some of the new and emerging management practices. You have realized that your team does a wide array of projects and there could be a few options to pick from when it comes to getting your best results, so you decide to call a meeting with the team. As everyone is coming together you strike up the conversation and realize that a bulk of your projects have a fixed scope which rarely changes and you deliver everything at the end of the project. One of your team members brings up an exception to that norm and feels that you should have gone with an agile approach on that particular project. According to the Continuum of Life Cycles, when is the agile methodology best suited?</div>

However the cost to input the records would be very high. To address this risk you create a backup of the entire customer database as of last week, and purchase an insurance policy to pay for the cost to input data for the past 7 days.

You notice that the lowest level nodes of the work breakdown structure (WBS) do not include a list of activities. Which of the following are true?
|
| 1 - You realize that the previous project team did not finish the work breakdown structure (WBS) since it should have included the required activities.
|
| 2 - This is OK since the lowest level of the work breakdown structure (WBS) should be the work package level.
|
| 3 - You realize that the previous project team may have captured the required activities in another document and you should keep reviewing their work.
|
| 4 - You realize that the previous project team did not finish the work breakdown structure (WBS) since it should have included the required resources.
|
| 5 - This is OK since the previous team was using rolling-wave planning, therefore the lowest level of the work breakdown structure (WBS) is the work package level.</div>

You have realized that your team does a wide array of projects and there could be a few options to pick from when it comes to getting your best results, so you decide to call a meeting with the team. As everyone is coming together you strike up the conversation and realize that a bulk of your projects have a fixed scope which rarely changes and you deliver everything at the end of the project. One of your team members brings up an exception to that norm and feels that you should have gone with an agile approach on that particular project.

You notice that the lowest level nodes of the work breakdown structure (WBS) do not include a list of activities. Which of the following are true?
|
| 1 - You realize that the previous project team did not finish the work breakdown structure (WBS) since it should have included the required activities.
|
| 2 - This is OK since the lowest level of the work breakdown structure (WBS) should be the work package level.
|
| 3 - You realize that the previous project team may have captured the required activities in another document and you should keep reviewing their work.
|
| 4 - You realize that the previous project team did not finish the work breakdown structure (WBS) since it should have included the required resources.
|
| 5 - This is OK since the previous team was using rolling-wave planning, therefore the lowest level of the work breakdown structure (WBS) is the work package level.</div>

Choice B, where 7 points fall consecutively on one side of the mean, should be of concern since this means your process is out of control. Choices A and C are both problems as well, since both represent data points that fall outside the control limits (meaning the process is out of control).

If time permits and the change is approved, you may still be able to incorporate her requirements. At the very least, you have engaged the stakeholder and attempted to satisfy her needs. Simply informing the stakeholder of your project and not gathering her requirements, as suggested in choice B, would not be appropriate either.
